Crew's "Say Cheese" Themed 2nd Birthday Party

This is just so cute! Lisa Denton of My Wild - Children's Photography chose the most adorable party theme for her son Crew’s 2nd birthday party that fit them both: Say Cheese! It was his favorite food plus her love of photography all rolled into one sweet theme. The decor brought it all out from handmade wooden cameras and art prints to photo garlands. And of course the menu was stacked with cheesy goodness, from the savory bites to the lemon blueberry cream cheese cake. Read on for more details from Lisa, then check out the full gallery for all of the images!

"With a love for children's photography, and a deep love for my son, I tried to bloom an idea that would really encompass us both. This boy has a simple love for a classic kid food...CHEESE! Taking his love for cheese and my love for photos, our 'Say Cheese' theme was born. The party surrounded a lunch menu in shades of yellow, black, and white and incorporated all things cheese, vintage and modern cameras, and lots of Crew images. Our menu was simple with macaroni and cheese, mini cheese pizza's, full cheese display, blue cheese salad, cheese sticks, mini mac and cheese bites, mini grilled cheeses, and a mozzarella caprese salad on sticks. The cake was a perfectly sweet lemon blueberry cream cheese beauty. Decor included lots of bold stripes, mini displays of insta photos, handmade wooden cameras, camera prints, and a delectable dessert bar. It was a picture perfect day we all said Say Cheese to and we certainly had the happiest little boy with the biggest heart to celebrate!"
